Harvey has been offending for 26 years and has a list of 45 offences to his name. They include vehicle crime, possession of drugs, burglary and dishonesty.

As he stood in the dock awaiting sentence, Harvey grabbed from the box of tissues that were supplied for him.

Judge Turner said: “Class A drugs are a great evil. They wreck lives. They break up families. They cause destruction in society.

"You say you were delivering these drugs to work off a debt you had incurred.

"I have no doubt at all that a substantial prison sentence will give you the opportunity to address your drugs problem. One hopes once and for all.”

Judge Turner sentenced Harvey to four years in prison for both counts of possession of heroin and cocaine with intent to supply. He was also given a 6 month sentence for driving under the influence of drugs to run concurrently.
